Simulation and evaluation of sustainable climate trajectories for aviation
In 2019, aviation was responsible for 2.6% of world CO2 emissions as well as additional climate impacts such as contrails. Like all industrial sectors, the
Félix will develop Life Cycle Assessment approaches and integrate them with ISA’s modeling tools to enable systemic exploration of the impacts of tomorrow’s air transport. This approach, extended to a range of environmental indicators, is essential to avoid transferring the climate externality to other externalities, such as mineral resource depletion and land-use change.
Felix’s work will cover different levels of granularity, from the evaluation of new aircraft concepts to their deployment in a global fleet. It will contribute to integrating the concept of absolute sustainability, for the evaluation of aviation transition trajectories, within the AeroMAPS platform supported by ISAE-SUPAERO and the Institute for Sustainable Aviation. Finally, Félix will be undertaking methodological work on the integration of socio-economic indicators into the sector’s life-cycle analysis approaches.
